yikes, NFL Live just completely botched the Bengals offensive stats. Said they were 2nd in rushing and 28th in offense last season.

The truth? They were 8th in passing, 18th in rushing.

I really hope that was a stats error and not purposely faulty stats to perpetuate their final line of "Andy Dalton needs to take pressure off of the Bengals running game."

The exact opposite is true. Dalton was 3rd in the league in touchdowns last season. The Bengals running game was 27th in yards per carry last season.

@JordanRaanan: Victor Hampton also getting look from #Bengals Tuesday, before #Giants. Hampton interesting (but troubled) prospect. http://t.co/ezbIAZ48V7

Hampton will work out for the Giants on Wednesday, two individuals with knowledge of the situation told NJ.com. He is also scheduled to try out for the Bengals on Tuesday.

The 5-foot-9, 197-pound cornerback has a troubled background. He was kicked off three high school teams, arrested following a dispute with his sister in April and questioned in connection with a New York nightclub fight prior to the draft. Hampton also didn't start in two games for the Gamecocks last year for violation of team rules.

Combine the off-the-field troubles with the 4.69 seconds Hampton posted in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and it has led to him being without a job as teams get close to wrapping up OTAs and minicamp. There are considerable concerns with investing a draft pick or signing bonus on such a player.

But Hampton does have potential as a man-coverage cornerback or a free safety convert. That likely intrigues Reese and the Giants. The NFL advisory board reportedly told him he'd likely be a second or third-round pick following a junior season where he tallied 51 tackles and three interceptions. Instead, he's available in June with no strings attached.
